The illustrated address to be jiven by the pastor of the Presbyteran church next Sunday night, Jan. rth at 7:30 o'clock, is on the subject of Home Missions, dealing especially with the Italians. In this mmediate section we do not have talians. This is one reason why the ecture is given, that we may know tomething of the tremendous probems that confront our Home Mission workers, many of whom labor among [talians. The pictures are chosen to give >He a good understanding of the vork of bringing the gospel to the housands of immigrants that come svery week to our shores. Some of the religious activities of ;hese foreigners which will be hown are more like heathendom ;han anything else, and still they sngage in them in cities where there , ire thousands of Christian people. The public is welcome at all services. VISITORS FROM DUE WEST. Miss Mamie and Miss Agnes Dev- | in came down from Due West last . reek and visited several days with diss Maggie Brooks.

Wyatt Aiken, Jr., was at at home for the Christmas holidays, and has returned to Washington, where he is studying to be a lawyer in one of the leading law schools. And he is making good. He went to Washington for this purpose on his own responsibility. His father has made it a rule to ask for no favors for any of his relatives since he has seen in congress. Wyatt knew this - - j - i-i * x?i. ana ne, uiereiure, iaiua. matbcxo ;ax 1 lis own hands, and went to the Capi- i ;ol and. applied for a position on his a )wn account. He secured a job out <] >f which he makes enough money d :o pay his expenses, and ne still has v ame to keep up with his studies. c ^nd this means that one of these 0 lays Wyatt will be a successful law- c rer, because success comes in the j aw from hard work and self-reliance jj HONORING THE AGED. e s Col. Andy Robinson, of Long * I!ane, was in the city Saturday, and ? ve saw him in earnest conversation 1 vith Congressman Aiken. As Ve a massed we stopped to hear what was c joing on. Mr. Robinson was telling ? ;he congressman about a trip he 11 i ?:i.i. a ;ook nut luiijc ttj^u wiui iuia< nuum- ;on to see some of the kin. As they n vere on the way to make the visit b ;hey chanced to meet our old and d vorthy citizen, Col. Patrick Roche, r Sol. Roche spoke to "Andy", and c Mr. Robinson spoke to "Pat", as he ii :alled him. It happened that they tl net Col. Roche again as he and M::s. t Etobinson went home, and the same d lalutations occurred. When they had a massed Mrs. Robinson was silent for c iwhile, and then said to Andy, Mr. Robinson you are getting up in years yourself, and will soon be an old man, jut I think you should always call v is old a man as that old gentleman, b \Iister. . ij It's a poor memory that doesn't ala man to forget what he owes.

One of the great elements in main- ;, ! aining health is the regulation of j j i he bodily intake to meet the appe- ; i f ite.

To indulge the . v ppetite to too great an extent is qually as pernicious as its con- \ tant repression.
